An unexpected, and pleasant reply.

I have spent my life, having grown up in the shadow of Dr. Ehrlich, in pretty great distress over population. It is what brought me to this forum. I even recently had a correspondence with Paul, which will forever be in my inbox.

I'm just beginning to see more positive replies, having been subject to pretty much flames. And this is supposedly a progressive forum. Yes, almost all of the problems we face are founded on numbers of humans. Renewable energy will only stem the immediate carbon dioxide problem, but will not address the myriad of peripheral symptoms. I just don't understand how so few people are conscious of this issue. And even though our growth is far less than it was, it's still problematic.

Here's a forum that is the product of a number of brilliant scientists. It is their attempt to make some kind of dialog with the human race. And they're flabbergasted at how to get the topic rolling. Big money won't have anything to do with no growth, and the general public are blind to the problem. So we just sit and watch.

I post blog topics every once in a while on the Environment forum. I couldn't get the DU owners to start a population forum. Go figure.
